Formatting Transactional Map CSV Files

The CSV file must be properly formatted or it will not be accepted by TraceLink.

When downloading a CSV file, select Save rather than Open, and:

• View the file in MS Excel. See Export a CSV File to Excel in Troubleshooting.
• View the CSV file in a text editor.

The following example is truncated for viewing because of the large amount of element headers. For the complete list of element headers, see the Element Headers drop-down below.

Element Headers

• businessProcess – The TraceLink app that correlates to the message (e.g. Master Data Exchange, Serialized Operations Manager).
• transaction – The type of message for the specific app (e.g. the Product Track module's message TYPE could be Pick/Ship, Return Receipt, Create Initial message, etc.).
• inboundMapName – The name of the file that defines how TraceLink processes inbound messages for that business process and message.

  Contact a TraceLink Technical Consultant or Implementation Project Manager for more information about valid map names. Contact Support if unsure of the specific consultant or manager.

• outboundMapName – The name of the file that defines how TraceLink processes outbound messages for that business process and message.

  Contact a TraceLink Technical Consultant or Implementation Project Manager for more information about valid map names. Contact Support if unsure of the specific consultant or manager.

• configuration – Indicates the manner in which the recipient needs to receive the files (e.g. number of files, maximum size of files, time between file output).
• B2BConnectionOverride – Indicates that the message in the corresponding row should be received with a different B2B connection.

  The connection must be present in the B2B Connection drop-down. If the B2BConnectionOverride column is empty, the transaction uses the B2B Connection set in the Info Exchange Profile.
